vicinity were severely shocked. The engine
house and lifting works, q structure over 100
feet long and two stories high, was blown Into
splinters by the current driven out OF the

In flames. From the character OF the build

Il was not possible to save anything from
the flames.
There were six men In the mines at the

at Ito o'clock. These men were all killed.
Their names are Miles Jarrett, Dave Jones,
